when I use Traktor 3 with the console Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3 I have some issues! need help!

djron

ok. I am a former pioneer user who purchased their latest budget four track console, then right after the warranty expires a tac button "went bad". I also am a former Traktor user way back when, Traktor Pro 2 LE Behringer BCD-3000. Equipment started getting expensive bla bla bla. so, I retire the "other console" and decide to spend the extra money and upgrade to using Traktor Kontrol S4 MK3 which included the latest Version of Traktor Pro. now here is where I am looking for some support other than Native-Instruments Support Team. I enjoy streaming using OBS and at first had it working. Then I purchased a Dynamic Mic to use with the console.

I expect for the mic to work with out issues since I "paid extra to upgrade" and there it is. Read the manual back and forth and no feasible I mean nothing explaining why the mic does not work as it should "plug and play". while looking for a driver to work with the C and D by default, I started reading about ASIO and WDM drivers. ASIO this ASIO that ASIO Link Pro & ASIO4ALL and wow. Installed both ASIO programs …oh I have Windows 11 fully updated and nothing. I was able to get the mics C and D but the config was somewhat backwards. I then rid my box of all drivers non Native and am left with Native Asio and Wasapi Drivers with nothing for S4 MK3 but only Asio Drivers for the MK2 with the console off. Now with Traktor Open I power up the MK3 and WASAPI drivers appear for the S4MK3. I take it these Drivers are built by Engineers @ Native right? I was happy thinking to myself oh well here the mics should work, right? well no. the C and D Mics which are 5 and 6 for C, 7 and 8 for D are disabled by default.

WHY?

Hi,

Not sure I fully understand your issue but in terms of drivers you should avoid using WASAPI drivers in Traktor Pro I believe.

Below a screenshot of my setup. Hopefully it is of any help.

that is as close as I get to your config.

You have two issue, one is streaming with OBS and one is getting the mic to work. I would advice you to create a single thread for each issue. Otherwise it will get messy.

Mic: Both the pdf manual and online one describe it how to connect the mic: https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/209590869-How-to-Use-a-Microphone-with-the-TRAKTOR-KONTROL-S4

I use the s4 with mic and it works out of the box. Both ways.

OBS:

Yeah, this is a problem. It's super easy in rekordbox and serato, but I only had problems with traktor.

I wanted to go the software route, but after messing with virtual cables for weeks I chose option B. Going from booth to a line in ... Not pretty or user friendly, but it works.

I use ASIO btw. Not ASIO4ALL or any other software. Just the normal s4 mk3 ASIO connection.

thank you both for your help.

with obs running on windows 11,

I managed to get it all working in Traktor Pro 3 with WDM Audio (Wasapi (Shared Mode)) Including Input Routing mic D.

With OBS Traktor works independently.

OBS Audio Output Capture -> Main/Booth (Traktor Kontrol S4MK3 WDM Audio)

Windows Sound Output -> Speakers (Realtek) for all sounds including OBS where Traktor runs separate.

Hope this helps anyone out there 😃

You don't have the issue where you can hear CUE in OBS?

djron

I have had this happen, yes.

lord-carlos

Unless you never want to cue up, that is going to be a problem ;-)
